Boy, 14, stabbed in Oldbury - second teenager arrested on suspicion of attempted murder

A boy was found with a serious knife wound in Brunel Road, Oldbury, in the early hours of Saturday (January 4) and police were called. Residents reported seeing a large white police tent in a playing field adjacent to Brunel Road.

The boy was taken to hospital, where he remained in a serious condition.

A second boy, aged 15, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in custody while police continue enquiries.

A statement by West Midlands Police said: "Anyone with information about what happened can contact us via 101 or Live Chat quoting crime number 20/103027/25."

One resident of Brunel Road who did not want to be named told the Express & Star: "Police came knocking doors last night, around midnight. There was a big white tent over there [in the field]. Police were here and put up a big tent."

Another resident said: "[Police] woke me up at 1am, I told them I hadn't seen anything. I was fast asleep in bed.

"This kind of thing does not happen here, it's a very quiet spot - it's not usual to have this kind of behaviour.

"It shouldn't be happening."
